Razor: Wilkinson Sword Pall Mall.
Brush: Restored Rubberset with 20 mm Badger.
Soap: Cella fashioned into a stick.
My Pall Mall arrived from Portugal a couple of days ago. I have honed three of my blades [of seven] and I'm pleased with them.
The postie delivered the blades belonging to a friend for his Wilkinson Sword Pall Mall and a couple of other vintage wedges so I will work on them as soon as practical.

Friday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Vintage Life Licorice Shave Soap
Jayaruh #437 Silvertip Badger
Unmentionable Razor
Unmentionable Stainless Blade
CWR
Aqua Velva 5 in 1 After Shave Balm
The Vintage Life Licorice Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #437 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Unmentionable Razor and an Unmentionable Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I did shave today, and it was a good one. However, it was with with an Unmentionable. That's all I have to say about that.
